    What's the super thin egg my hen laid?

    They had already smashed it but the shell was super thin - almost translucent. The insides looked normally formed. I think one of the others were starting to eat it. Ugh. Now I'm worried lol. Are my hens ok?

    chicken with a pasty butt !

    The first time my hens got poopy butt I started freaking out. I thought it was a prolapse or something horrible. I was so relieved to see that it was just poo. A mess for sure but it could've been something much worse. I'm glad your situation has sorted out!

    Can my chickens eat...

    I've tossed out both raw and cooked carrots and been fine. My hens tend to leave behind the stuff they don't care for. Usually onions or sour citrus like lemons or limes. Anyone have experience feeding rice and bread? It really isn't much and never uncooked rice but we do occasionally have...

    I don't really want to get a rooster but I heard someone suggest that having one can encourage hens to lay more. Do you guys think this is true? What's your experience? I feel like a rooster bugging my hens all the time would DISCOURAGE them from laying but I don't know first-hand.

    such a great question and I haven't given it a ton of thought yet but my gut reaction is probably $10-11 per dozen. once you learn what it takes to make your own food it kinda changes you

    What's the best feeder for ducks?

    Hey team. I'm new here. I'm curious what everyone considers is the best duck feeder. I've used a few different styles but most are made for chickens it seems. I've had trouble finding something suitable for ducks and poultry with wider bills. If anyone can help me out it be greatly appreciated!
